Clover I decided to update Clover as it has gone through several changes from the last preview. The map can now comfortably support 4v4, the power weapons have also changed with the replacement of the grenade launcher and sniper rifle with the focus rifle and concussion rifle. The map also has a ghost and an activate camo that first spawns 120 seconds into the game. I am currently finishing up the spawns and weapon placements on the map. I will most likely be hosting a testing session this upcoming weekend if anyone would care to join just send me a message stating so. Here are a few more pictures.

Liking the look of the new additions sora, feel free to invite me as I would really like to see how the new edition plays.
I was going to give everyone that deserves it, including you, credit when I actually post the map. @knarly I will make sure to invite you the next time I am testing.
The additions look great. How do they affect the frame rate though? It looks like just as many things were added as taken away...
I didn't see any frame rate issues the last time I tested a 2v2 on the map. There might be some frame rate issues in 4v4, and if there are I already have some ideas on how to reduce the frame rate.
Wha no sniper for halo?!?! Where is my credits because I helped a ton on this map and with the of the mongoose and AC it really changes up the gamplay on the map and still no sniper?
As I stated to Sinless I will be giving thanks and credit to everyone when I actually post the map. Regarding the replacement of the sniper rifle with the focus rifle, Sinless recommended it to me because the sniper was beginning to feel a little too dominant. Another factor is that I feel the focus rifle requires less overall skill to use than a sniper rifle, so more people are encouraged to rush for it. If tests show otherwise I will replace it with the sniper rifle.
Besides the dominant part about the sniper, I think the focus rifle is a great replacement because it gives this map a little more of a covenant feel.
The covenant theme is more of a side theme added to the map. The central theme of the map I will explain further in the actual post with a story, though if you must know it centrals around the structure collapsing.
Like the layout and feel for this. Has a very abandoned ambiance. If you need more testers, go ahead and add me, gamertag is same as this forum ID.
